STRAW-CARRIER FOR THRASHING-MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent'No. 293,881, dated February 19, 1884.

- Application filed December 10, 1883. (N model.)

I0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, EDWARD HUBER and FREDRICK STROBEL, citizens of'the United States, and residents of Marion, in the county of Marion and State of Ohio, have invented certain new 1 and useful Improvements in Straw-Carriers for Thrashing-Machines; and we do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the inven-- tion, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which' 4 I Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of a thrashing-machine of ordinary construction, in which our improved straw-carrier is hung in operative position; and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the straw-carrier removed from the machine.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding-parts in all the figures. 7 Our invention has relation to straw-carriers forthrashing-machines; and it consists in the improved construction and combination of parts of the same, as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, A repre-- sents the frame or outer casing of the thrashing machine.

The straw-carrier consists of the sections B O, which are of ordinary construction, and are supported within the frame or casing A by means of hangers D.

B indicates the forward section of the carrier, or the section upon which the straw first falls Near the forward end of the said section are pivoted the upper extremities of 'two rock-levers, E, connected near their center by a shaft, F, while to the forward part of the section B are secured the ends of pitmen G, the rear ends of which are pivotally secured to the cranks H of a shaft, H, suitably supported in the sides of the frame A, and having upon one of its ends a pulley-wheel, I, around which passes an endless belt from any suitable source of power. The ends of the shafts F also work in suitable journal-boxes in the sides of the frame A.

| To the lower ends of the rock-levers E are 5o pivotally secured the rear ends of pitmen J, the front ends of which are secured to the forward end of the rear section, 0. I

We prefer to make the forward ends or portions of the pitmen GJ reduced and flexible, 5 5 and to rigidly secure the said ends of the pit; men to their respective sections, as shown in the several views of the drawings. If desired,

however, the pitmen maybe made non-flexible, and have their forward ends pivotally secured to their respective sections.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction of our improved'straw-car rier for thrashing-machines will readily be understood without requiring further explanation. 7

It will be seen that by constructing our improved straw-carrier in the manner described that the heaviest section of the carrier B re- 7oceives its motion direct from the crank-shaft H, while the lightest running section 0, requiring less power to operate it, receives its motion indirectly through the-rock-levers E and pitmen J, as'will be readily understood by reference to the drawings.

Having thus described our invention, we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States In a straw-carrier of the described construction, the combination of the sections B G, hangers D, shaft H, having cranks H, and provided with apulley-wheel, I, pitman G, rock-levers E, connected by a shaft, F, shaft F,

I and pitman J, all-constructed and arranged to 8 5 operate substantially in the manner and for the purpose shown and set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereunto affixed our signatures in presence of two witnesses.

EDWARD HUBER. FREDRICK STROBEL.
